Let's Cook

I was never a huge fan of the food network. My mom would always watch it and I had a couple of friends who would watch it as well, but I never cared for it until recently and now that's all I want to watch. I always watched Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, but never watched any other food show. Well, last night I was watching Chopped and Cupcake Wars and damn I wish I could be on those shows. I wish I was a freaking chef. I really want to cook. I always thought about taking a cooking class, but never got around to it and now I kind of regret it. My mom always told me to find one in college and I would pass the room where the cooking class was held on my way to and from my anthropology class. Ugh. The one time I should have listened to my mom.

I have a million cookbooks and I made my own cookbook with my favorite recipes and even have an app for my phone with recipes and a video game with recipes. It's kind of ridiculous. I envy those people who can taste something and know exactly what's in it and then can recreate it. I wish I could look at some random ingredients and just know what to cook, no recipe required. Maybe I should quit my job and go to culinary school. Hmmm. I wouldn't mind wearing an apron to work everyday...
